I'm working on several new projects at the moment, which means less time for the blog... But I'm still here :)
Spotted this lovely attic apartment for sale on ESNY today. Lots of great art helps keeping the style fairly personal, at least for a place that has been styled to be sold. The grey-white-black palette is warmed up by natural materials like wood, leather, terracotta and sheepskin, as well as soft textiles and green plants. Details in chrome and brass create a nice contrast.
I love the colour of the kitchen doors btw, which looks very much like the "denim drift" shade that was just elected Colour of the Year 2017 by AkzoNobel (Dulux, Nordsjö...)

Some bedroom inspiration on this grey Sunday... This laid-back space in timeless black & white has been updated with a velvet bedspread for a warm and elegant touch, perfect for cooler autumn days. Wood and vintage details, together with the chalkboard wall, add personality to the room.
Great styling by Pella Hedeby for IKEA Livet hemma, photo Anna Malmberg.

As I told you in the last post, I had the pleasure of working together with three beautiful Swedish brands at Maison & Objet: Fine Little Day, Kajsa Cramer and Ylva Skarp. For their first participation at the Paris fair, they had the excellent idea of exhibiting together in one booth and thus creating a bigger impact. Not to talk about how much easier and fun it is as a group :)

Fine Little Day started out as a blog 2007, by artist and photographer Elisabeth Dunker. Today the brand offers a wide range of products, from textile to posters, created by their own design studio in Göteborg lead by Elisabeth Dunker and Ulrika E. Engberg. With the Scandinavian nature as main source of inspiration, their design is characterized by its simple aestetics, expressive patterns and cheerfulness. Fine Little Day also strives to use sustainable and organic materials where feasible.

The new collection is called Water Lilies and is inspired by a photo taken by Elisabeth Dunker. This is more "grown-up" pattern than the previous ones, still they can all easily be mixed. Water Lilies comes as cushion cover, table cloth, tea towel, napkin, table runner, wool blanket, poster, card and fabric by the meter.

After a long summer holiday in Sweden, quite a lot of work to prepare upcoming projects, and the need for a break from blogging... well, I'm finally back and so is also the inspiration for continuing this blog :)

Last week I worked at the Maison&Objet fair with three amazing Swedish brands which I will tell you more about in the next post. But first a trend watch!

Petite Friture presented a new amazing tableware collection by Färg & Blanche. The collection also stood out beautifully against the wall which was painted in this soft terracotta/dusty pink shade that could be seen throughout the fair.

I find it extremely relaxing and almost meditating to slowly balance back and forth in a rocking chair... Fortunately, there are a lot of them around these days, both in contemporary and more traditional style. Also, IKEA just released images of this beauty below (top left) that will be launched in August - love it! It actually inspired me to go look for more nice pieces, so here comes a selection of 12 rocking chairs in different styles, colours and budgets, for indoor and outdoor use. Hope you'll find something you like!

To furnish and decorate a newly built flat and make the show home feel inviting, lived-in and trendy, well that really isn't an easy task. Marie Ramse works for Swedish housing constructor JM and masters the exercise perfectly. On the blog Hitta hem Marie shares both the process and the final result of her work as well as the work of other decorators with whom she collaborates regularly. Below you can see the latest realization, a lovely flat decorated in a light palette of white, grey and powdered hues together with light wood.
You'll find more inspiring projects on the Hitta hem blog.
